About this property

The Cliff House - Expansive Bay Views from an Open & Inviting House

The Cliff House is situated on a hill above Tomales Bay. It is an open split level home with exposed beams and a huge great-room with amazing bay views. The beautiful master bedroom has a king size bed and attached full bath. It looks out through sliding glass doors over a large redwood deck with views of the bay. On the same level there is an additional 1/2 bath with a den next to it. The den has two twin beds. Downstairs there are two bedrooms and a full bath. Room #1 has two twin beds and garden views of the property and a view of the bay. Room #2 has a queen size bed and a twin bed and has a view of the bay. All rooms are appointed with comfortable bedding and have closets for storage (except the den).

A fully equipped kitchen is located on the upper floor with a stove/oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer along with cookware and place settings for your gourmet meal. Adjacent to the kitchen is large dining table that can seat 10 and is parallel to the great-room's wall of windows! This is a perfect setting to enjoy a meal with a view, have a glass of wine, play a board game, and have many memorable conversations and moments. The great-room is a large common area on the upper level with a focus towards the wall of windows. There is a custom crescent shaped seating area that can accommodate 6 people around a round table and brick fireplace. Additionally there is a full sized couch and two large padded over-sized chairs perfect for reading a book or watching the birds swoop by in front of the windows. There is an HD flat screen TV and DVD player in the great-room and another flat screen TV and DVD player in the master bedroom. There are two large speakers in the main part of the house that connect to a stereo; perfect for background music. The large redwood deck is off the master bedroom and also accessible down from the great-room via a sliding glass door and set of stairs. There is a large outside landing with a table perfect to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. The main deck has an additional table, chairs, and lounge seats along with a charcoal BBQ. This private house sits on One acre in a wooded and park like setting. There is ample parking under a 3 car covered car port. Attached to the covered parking is a Recreation Room with a Ping Pong table, Foosball table, and extra large comfy chairs; a perfect teen getaway!

The Cliff House is walking distance to two beaches and is the perfect place to entertain, vacation, retreat, relax, rejuvenate, escape, or simply center yourself.

Big down-to-earth home in amazing location
This was our second stay since it's the perfect place for large family gatherings! Amazing views, birds and crickets and deer, short walk to a lovely small beach and short drive to all of Point Reyes hikes and beaches. We had so much fun playing ping pong even though the garage room has some water and mildew issues. We will be back!
